Primo Maxx. It’s not just about slowing growth—it’s about building resilience.
By reducing water loss through the leaves and shifting the plant’s energy into the roots, you’re “priming” your turf for the summer heat before the real stress hits.

Turf stress can arise from heat, drought, wear, low light or seasonal pressure. While the causes differ, the impact on the plant often leads back to one key process: photosynthesis.

Understanding this connection can change how turf stress is approached throughout the season.

Our latest article looks at why photosynthesis sits at the centre of turf performance and what this means for supporting turf before visible stress appears.

Everton were the first club to install undersoil heating at Goodison Park in 1958. This innovation kept the pitch playable in cold weather, reducing match postponements due to frozen ground. It showcased Everton's commitment to maintaining high playing standards.

As temperatures rise, maintaining consistent soil moisture becomes increasingly important, particularly on areas prone to localised dry patch.

H2Pro TriSmart combines three surfactant technologies to support water infiltration and moisture movement through the soil profile during warmer, drier periods.

A single application of the MTU® & pidolic acid biostimulant package in Greenmaster Liquid Advance improved rooting in establishing perennial ryegrass just seven days after treatment.

Roots were longer, deeper, and more branched than untreated plants, supporting stronger early turf development.

[STRI Group @strigroup_]

Elite football pitches are under more pressure than ever before.

More matches. More non-football events. Heavier player loads. Tighter turnarounds. Higher aesthetic expectations. And all of it happening under increasing climate pressures.

Recent conversations around player injuries have once again brought pitch performance into the spotlight, but the reality is far more complex than simply blaming the surface.

In this latest opinion piece, @striturf_greg, Principal Consultant explores how modern pitch management has evolved into a highly scientific balancing act - where maintenance windows, recovery time, stadium usage and environmental conditions all play a critical role in surface performance.

An interesting read for anyone involved in elite sport, stadium operations or sports surface management.
